TOX3 (TOX high mobility group box family member 3) is a protein that switches other genes on and off. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Breast cancer.
Transcriptional coactivator of the p300/CBP-mediated transcription complex. Activates transactivation through cAMP response element (CRE) sites. Protects against cell death by inducing antiapoptotic and repressing pro-apoptotic transcripts.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.58 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.97, genetic association 0.72).

No product in this corpus aims at TOX3 yet. Transcription factors have no pocket to plug, so drugs either degrade them or block the partner protein they need to dock on DNA.
First described 1997. Earliest sequence paper UniProt cites for the protein: Margolis R.L. et al, Hum. Genet, 1997, "cDNAs with long CAG trinucleotide repeats from human brain". Source.

Transcriptional coactivator of the p300/CBP-mediated transcription complex. Activates transactivation through cAMP response element (CRE) sites. Protects against cell death by inducing antiapoptotic and repressing pro-apoptotic transcripts. Stimulates transcription from the oestrogen-responsive or BCL-2 promoters. Required for depolarisation-induced transcription activation of the C-FOS promoter in neurons. Associates with chromatin to the oestrogen-responsive C3 promoter region. Location: Nucleus (UniProt). Locus 16q12.1 (HGNC).
